NEC – Silence is not an Option, Stand Up or Resign

We are told there will be a vote of no-confidence taken at the NEC meeting on Sunday. However, this once again acts as a reminder of the failures of UKIPs governance system. Although these failures have been clear for a long time, they are now coming home to roost.

Recent events show the ordinary UKIP members have absolutely no influence over the actions of NEC members, and NEC members feel no duty to members. Of the 15 members of the NEC, only 2 have made their positions known, and that was before the Chairman issued his order that they remain silent prior to the meeting. Another has strongly hinted at his position in these pages, and Henry has, of course, broken the Chairman’s request already by being interviewed several times.

This illustrates the failure of the governance system perfectly. The Chairman imposes a code of silence on the NEC members, but the Chairman is appointed by the Leader! Thus the NEC members, like sheep, allow themselves to be silenced by someone who takes his orders from the person they are voting about. It is blindingly obvious that the NEC should have its own Chairman entirely separate to the ‘Chairman’ appointed by the Leader, who is in fact more like a Chief Operating Officer than a Chairman. Having the leader exert indirect authority over the members’ representative body is a ridiculous situation to be in as the NEC is supposed to be able to hold the Leader to account. Surely losing the word ‘interim’ from his title (remember Henry’s words; “interim is what it says on the tin”) should make it clear that Henry and Oakden are now on the same side?

At this last-chance saloon moment, NEC members have the duty to tell members how they will be voting in advance of the vote, so that members have a chance to ask them for explanations and make representations to them. You may assume that an NEC member will vote one way or another (or abstain, always the easy way out), but assumption is the mother of all cock-ups. As there is no guarantee of disclosure of the result (there was a vote of no-confidence in the chairman earlier this year which passed 9-0 with two abstentions and at least one absence, with only the result being disclosed, not the individual voting record, and since then no more NEC meeting records have been posted).

Unlike MPs, NEC members do not have a constituency. There is no identifiable group of people who voted for them. On the other hand, if you as a member didn’t vote for any of the NEC members, then who should you contact? There is no accountability whatsoever. In these circumstances, with nobody ‘holding their feet to the fire’ as it were, NEC groupthink takes over, and rather than represent the views of the members directly, they start thinking they should ‘do their best for the party’. In practice, this will mean being easily influenced by others who have been around longer or are more dominant personalities. If a voting block of five members can be formed (e.g. Crowther, Oakley, Bown, Wauchope, maybe Finch), then Henry is safe. Looking at the list, my guess is that he will survive. The waiverers will waiver, or abstain. It isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that some people won’t show up, or will suddenly get ill.

Silence is not an option, and indeed silence should be assumed to mean they will support Henry. Members are highly optimistic if they think that NEC members will vote against the wishes of the party establishment. None of the non-NEC senior party members have called for Henry to go. Farage hasn’t. Whittle hasn’t, not Kurten. Deputy leader Margot Parker is active on social media but has not mentioned it. This is not by chance; the silence of the establishment will be taken by Henry as an endorsement and gives him the confidence to continue. Worse, these establishment figures may well have their points of view, but they don’t feel the need to tell members. Frantic phone calls will be taking place, tallies will be counted, but none of this will be disclosed to you. Members are kept in the dark and fed s**t as someone else said once.

Hence I suggest that members must make their feelings known to the NEC members and DEMAND that they provide their voting intention prior to the meeting. Their job is to represent members, not join in the groupthink. If the NEC do not speak out for members, who will?

And whatever happens, if the party survives then there seems to be no way to effect reform. These problems have been clear for a long time but nothing ever happens. Unless NEC members speak up now, they are consigning UKIP to the dustbin of history.

The members of the NEC are not idiots, they are members of UKIP like the rest of us. Its like saying all branch chairmen are idiots and everyone connected to a branch committee are idiots. Someone has to be in charge whether it be locally or nationally. It just cannot be lost on them that UKIP is in dire straights at the moment, losing members hand over fist. They read newspapers and watch TV like the rest, and can see what Henry Bolton is up to. Whilst I believe Henry Bolton should have resigned a week or more ago, he… Read more »

https://twitter.com/BasedEnglish/status/953756634161078272 I have to say that UKIP has no governance. The leader is still yapping to the media, recently with the Telegraph about his “love”. UKIP governance should have suspended him days ago for bringing the party into disrepute. Whether they had the power-legal footing or not to do this proves the weakness of UKIP governance. QED. Henry Bolton’s continued behaviour with the media and not respectfully shutting up shows he is out to wreck UKIP. As a former Lib-Dem, police & military advisor to the EU it would appear beyond doubt that he does not have the depth of… Read more »

With all due respect to Kassam – Neil Hamilton is not a ‘UKIP Wrecker’. He is doing an excellent job in the Welsh Assembly as leader of the UKIP Group there. Neil Hamilton does not belong on that list.
As to the rest of Kassam’s list: that needs updating …

From what I’ve seen of Neil Hamilton he’s doing everything to protect and promote UKIP and the policies it is (or perhaps used to be) known for.

He is also a very experienced politician who has, in the past, been an MP. Sadly, his knowledge and skills have not been used by UKIP and the party has lost out as a result. Shameful.

I agree.
I do not know Neil personally, but I first heard him speak at a UKIP rally back in the glory days of 2013 / 14 up in the Northeast.

He was second ONLY to Nigel in the power of his speech and ability to enthuse the packed hall………
Whoever takes over next week would be well advised to bring him into the inner circle.

Telegraph headline: Ukip leader Henry Bolton: ‘Three-weeks with Jo was the happiest I’ve been in years’ “However asked if he rules out getting back together with Ms Marney, he replied: “I don’t rule it out, not at all.” Asked if he still loves her, he replied: “Yeah, absolutely. The anguish that Jo and I have gone through…” It has gone beyond any measure of credibility. I thought the suggestion that HB was a plant was not without merit, but no-one could have concocted plan to highlight the complete lack of dysfunctionality exhibited since Christmas. It’s past becoming a farce, with… Read more »

Henry, seemingly not bound by the code of silence that the other NEC members are holding fast to has today been interviewed by the Telegraph! The little p***k, he can’t stop insulting his wife and children. If you weren’t happy, why did you have the kids you p***k??? What an odious human being.

Why hasn’t Henry Bolton resigned? He must be mad to imagine he has any future in UKIP. Why hasn’t the NEC expelled him for bringing UKIP into disrepute? Why have the views of people like Gerard Batten, who I admire, been ignored? I’m only glad that I don’t have to worry too much about these questions as I am in my eighties.

Fascinating reading this leaders training. One wonders if the trainer has forgotten the lessons. “The difference between leadership and management and the vital importance of that difference” UKIP was mega mismanaged and this is an area that Henry has concentrated on since his election. The absolute rubbish & ridiculously overpriced database system is on its way out (as informed by Paul Oakden & Noel Richardson last night)But – Paul had to admit that HB has owned up to f-ing up the leadership bit, as a number of people, like Russell Hicks kept saying, (Where’s listen to those you are leading?)… Read more »

So Mick
what is yr take on the likely vote of the other NEC members ?
Is there ANYone who is going to vote in favour of his staying on ?
Can you point them to this website so they can read for themselves what strong UKIP supporters want to happen ?
HOW can they go against such unanimous ( as near as dammit ) screeching for him to GO and go NOW ?

If Nigel doesn’t want to lead UKIP, then the party should fold and make way for a new patriotic party that can continue to support a proper Brexit and can highlight the many problems caused by mass immigration and Islam.

Rob,

Ah-hum, ‘For Britain’ comes to mind or are you too anti AMW? just asking as she seems to be a much more viable option at present, which is saying something considering all the vile stick she got mostly from HB I seem to remember. I am not advocating her for leader of UKIP as I did not vote for her either, but cannot stop myself from thinking ‘what if’, we not be such a laughing stock as we are now.

Nigel’s flaws are becoming clearer, his star is waning, he recently shot himself in the foot, and so there is no better time, as Nigel’s shadow fades, for a new leader.

“Assist planning through the secondment of qualified and experienced planners”
Presumably qualified means Critical Path trained (rather than what UKIP usually uses = back of fag packet).
Qualified – I assume that means they`ll expect to be paid – the going rate.
Experienced – have you ever come across anybody experienced in planning a Brexit or even a re-run of a Brexit.
All sounds a bit complicated to me and so much tosh, particularly as I seem to remember a letter from hopeless/helpless/hapless HENRY saying the cash box was empty

Quite apart from the fact that Bolton doesn’t exactly set an example by practising what he preaches, due to the organisations he lists as having provided services for, is there not a conflict of interests with his role of UKIP leader?

Rabbit – the website and organisation was illuminating, especially the “About Henry” page.

His list of who he has worked with makes one wonder why he bothered to trouble himself as leader of UKIP:

“Henry has provided advice and other services to:

The European Commission, The European Union Security & Defence College, The European External Action Service,”

This detailed narrative of the shortfalls of the management of our party will resonate with most members.
Why is the NEC not constituted of elected representatives from our regions and elected by the officers/members of those regional branches? There may be a good reason for this but I have not seen any credible evidence put forward.

Because, in part, some regions have a small number of members, e.g. Scotland, and many people feel that the best possible candidates should be elected, irrespective of where they come from. In addition, in the past, some regional lfficers have proven controversial, so their nec appointees might be equally so. I remain in favour of one member one vote, and, hopefully once electronic voting is up and running, members will be able to make an informed choise helping ensure we get the best candidates for the job and not just Buggins’ Region’s rep’s turn… This topic turns up at conference… Read more »

JB is one of the RARE exceptions to which I referred. Good for him.
If UKIP and the NEC continue to exist after Sunday I do hope he will urge his fellow NEC ites to AT LAST start reading and writing on this site.
Who do they think they are ? The Queen, that they are not allowed to engage on controversial topics ?
And if HB stays and thus UKIP terminates then the discussion about reform of the NEC is moot.

Hello Graham,
My view is wait until the meeting happens.
The voting record and preferably the minutes of the meeting is made available to UKIP daily.
Then with or without the information of the meeting in front of the grass root membership a decision can then be made about whether or not the NEC is acting in members interests.
A view could then be taken whether UKIP HQ governance reform is needed.
I agree that the chair of the NEC should never be the leader or from the operational-executive side. A clear separation between governance and executive is sensible.

My area chairman has asked my branch to support a letter to the NEC calling for Henry to stay. Since I will be leaving the party in March I have asked the branch committee and activists to decide how to react, without making any recommendation. There is clearly some remaining if reluctant support for business as usual for the time being. Given our turnover of leaders I can understnd this.
